Marketing Automation
Firstly, what is it? According to our Digital Project Manager Mick, “It’s having repeatable parts of your marketing processes automated in order to save time. It helps grow your brand, generate higher quality leads, create more conversions and build better relationships.”
In terms of email marketing, you can set up welcome emails, thank you emails, happy birthday emails and then once comfortable you can dive into automated customer journeys. These can help your customer get to know your brand better or even help an old customer reengage again. By letting the software do it all for you, you can spend more time focusing on higher-level tasks whilst saving you time and precious resources.
